Sandwich Essentials Grilled Cheese Pizza Style Recipes

Steps:

• 1. PREP/PREPARE
• 2. You will need a small skillet to make this recipe.
• 3. Homemade Mayonnaise To be sure, there are some good store-bought mayo's on the market (my all-time favorite is Duke's) If you live in the South, you have probably seen it on the shelves of your local grocer; however, as you travel North, it becomes as scarce as hen's teeth. If you would like to take a stab at making your own (it really is not all that difficult), check out this recipe: https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/sauce-spread/spread/mayonnaise-essentials-faux-duke-s-version.html?r=1 Pizza Sauce If you are looking for a good Italian pizza sauce, check this one out: https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/sauce-spread/other-sauce-spread/italian-essentials-sardinian-pizza-sauce.html?r=2
• 4. What about the cheese? I used a mix of mozzarella, provolone, and mild colby, you could use any combination you choose; however, because it is supposed to be a "pizza" grilled cheese I think one of the choices should be mozzarella, or provolone.
• 5. Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
• 6. Brush 1 tablespoon of the mayonnaise on a slice of bread and lay it mayo-side down into a cold pan. Then brush the top portion of the bread with 1 tablespoon of the pizza sauce, followed by the cheese and pepperonis.
• 7. Add the second tablespoon of pizza sauce on a side of the other slice of bread and place it, sauce-side down on top of the other slice, and brush the remaining mayo on top.
• 8. Set pan to medium, and as it cooks, flip it a few times until the cheese is gooey and melty, and the bread toasty brown, a few minutes on each side.
• 9. PLATE/PRESENT
• 10. Cut up and serve with some warm pizza sauce for dipping. Enjoy.
• 11. Keep the faith and keeping cooking.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix together the butter, Parmesan, Italian seasoning and crushed red pepper. Brush one side of each slice of bread with this mixture.
• Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Lay one piece of the bread, butter-side down, in the skillet. Spread 1 tablespoon marinara sauce on the bread and layer on the mozzarella, provolone, pepperoni, pepper slices, olives and basil leaves. Top with the second slice of bread, butter-side up. Toast in the skillet, flipping as needed, until the bread is golden and the cheese has melted, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Remove from the skillet and slice in half. Serve with the remaining 1/4 cup marinara on the side.

Steps:

• Spread 1 tablespoon of marinara sauce on each piece of bread.
• Place mozzarella and provolone cheese slices on side with sauce on first piece of bread.
• Sprinkle parmesan cheese over the cheese slices.
• Top with second piece of bread, sauce side down.
• Melt butter in skillet over medium to medium-high heat.
• Place sandwich in skillet and cook on both sides until cheese inside is melted and outside is golden brown or darker if you like.
• Enjoy!
